1 - Oral B Replacement brush heads: New year, new brush heads for our electric brushes. We usually discard the heads every three months.As you already know, we get these at the local street market, because we always find them at a very good price.

2 - Almond Body Butter from The Body Shop: (marox) It's the first one that I've used up, though I've tried some of the others we bought at the time too. Saying I love this would be kind of an understatement. I strongly recommend it if you have dry skin (or even atopic skin) and moisture is a higher priority for you than gourmand scents. I'd say the scent is reminiscent of nougat to me, kind of. It's quite buttery and goes on like a dream, though I apply it on wet skin to make the most of it.If you remember, we got this during the TBS sales last year as part of our very first order. We got it 50% off and it is usually sold out, so if you're lucky enough to find it at a reasonable price, don't hesitate and add it to your basket.

3 - L'Oreal Professionnel Anti-Hairloss Ampoules: (marox) I bought these ampoules together with their shampoo to bring my lacklustre hair back to life, as I was struggling with seasonal hairloss. I cannot help but praise the applicator, as it is the most convenient I have tried so far. Much better than those ampoules you have to break off to use. And now it may be interesting to point out that the ampoules are exactly the same size as the *Kérastase* Specifique ones we gave my mum recently. Therefore, their applicators are fully interchangeable.Don't know if I'll repurchase this or try the Kerastase ones instead next time. I bought these at a local beauty supplies store and I paid nearly €30, but you can find them cheaper online.

4- TBS Blueberry Body Butter (Marian). As far as moisture goes, I loved this, just like all the other TBS butters I've been trying lately.The texture feels more 'buttery' than say, the almond one Marox showed above.If you apply it on damp skin, it will be easier to spread and the tub will last you longer. Otherwise, you'll have to be more heavyhanded with the application.

5- TBS Blueberry Body Scrub (Marian): I've been using this once a week. The exfoliation you get with it is average, as I tend to favour scrubs with bigger beads, so I don't think I'll be buying this again.On the plus side, this scrub seriously looks like jam! Bear in mind it is not suitable for consumption.The scent is heavenly and even more so when combined with the body butter in this range.

6- 'Hands Care System' hand cream from Stanhome (Marian).I've been using it in the cold weather, because it moisturizes my hands very well. My hands get very dry at this time.It reminds me of the Neutrogena hand cream that I tried (many years ago).Though there's some product left, I've had this cream for so many years that now it smells funky, so I think it's time to throw it away.

7- Eye contour cream from Biocura, sold at Aldi supermarkets (Marox). I bought this eye cream for my mum several years ago and she didn't use it much, so I've used it at weekends and the odd trip.It was discontinued long ago, but they do have other eye creams and they're very reasonably priced. You know how much we love Asian skincare, but if you still haven't jumped on the online shopping bandwagon, you may take a look at Aldi for cheap, mostly organic skincare. Well, this was all for now, but more will come soon.See you!
